←Recommendations of TO HISTORY/To Whom It May Concern -- ONE: War/Paint

I love the way this piece creates a sense of community, of communion, bringing the audience in to share the space and take a hard look at our past and our present. It must've been an incredible thing to experience in person!

A potent, poetic, theatrical event that is so much more than just a short play! Bates' piece feels rooted in many different places--ritual, poetry, protest to name just a few. The exploration of past and its echoes in the present is thorough and direct and gives voice to two stories that I imagine the majority of theatre-going audiences haven't experienced or considered. The Facebook post from Rhiana Yazzie so powerfully captures a central tension in this piece and in activism, protest, and affinity spaces as a whole.

An incredibly powerful piece that ties in the past with the present. Really incredible!

Oh, this is such a special piece. It's powerful, harmonic, and eye-opening. Everyone should take the time to give this one a read.

Beautiful, powerful poetry. Hits you like a slap in the face.

Powerful, striking poetry. This piece needs to be seen and heard by many, many audiences. Truly remarkable.

A beautiful, inventive, poetic, painful and very necessary play.

A prayer, a strong piece of theatre, genocide made personal through a specific incident, through the naming of names, a reminder that we all can and must take action now, that this is our history.

This play will shake you to your core. Gorgeous, horrifying, necessary. There's not much more to say.

As usual, Jaisey infuses her play's poetic language with passion, spirit, and grace. A beautiful play with a very important message.
